If you're planning on running the check-in kiosk on a PC platform, the Windows Client provides a simple and powerful hosting experience. The client application can be downloaded from your Rock install under Admin Tools > Power Tools > External Applications.

Configuration

After running the setup application, you'll have a Rock Check-in icon in your Start Menu and on your desktop. When you launch the application, you'll see the settings screen. Unlike the iPad application you'll see this screen on every launch, but the settings you select will be remembered for you.

Below is a summary of these settings.

QR Code Scanning
Don't forget that QR code scanning to identify the person is supported in the Windows application. For details on setting up your device to enable this feature see the Kiosks article. Note that scanning of QR codes generated by [Classic] Mobile Check-in is still limited to iPads only.  

Closing the Windows Client
After pressing the Start button, the check-in application will load the initial check-in screen. When you are ready to exit, simply tap or click in the upper left corner of the screen six times in three seconds to close the application.
